Strengths/Limitations of Behavioral Learning Theories
100
Unconditioned Stimulus
What is a response evoked without any prior training or conditioning?
100
Pleasant (reinforces) or unpleasant (punishers) conditions that follow behaviors and affect frequency of future behaviors
What is a consequence?
100
The imitation of others' behavior.
What is modeling?
100
Students who have knowledge of effective learning strategies and how and when to use them.
What is a self-regulated learner?
100
With the exception of social learning theorists, behavioral learning theorists focus almost exclusively on _________ ______.
What is observable behavior?
200
Neutral stimuli
What are stimuli that have no effect on response?
200
The use of cues, signals, or information to know when behavior is likely to be reinforced
What is discrimination?
200
Learning that involves four phases: attentional, retention, reproduction, and motivational.
What is observational learning?
200
Procedures based on both behavioral and cognitive principles for changing one's own behavior by means of self-talk and self-instruction.
What is cognitive behavior modification?
200
Behavioral learning theories are limited in ____.
What is scope?
300
Usually defined as a change in the individual caused by experience
What is learning?
300
Guiding students toward goals by reinforcing the many steps that lead to success
What is shaping?
300
The first phase in observational learning that involves observing a model.
What is the attentional phase?
300
Classic procedure created to teach students to regulate their own behavior. Teachers rate students behavior and reinforce students when they earn high ratings.
What is self-reinforcement?
300
________, which is a direct outgrowth of behavioral learning theories, helps to bridge the gap between the behavioral and cognitive perspectives.
What is social learning theory?
400
The use of pleasant or unpleasant consequences to control the occurrence of behavior
What is operant conditioning?
400
Used to weaken a behavior
What is a punisher?
400
Once students' are paying attention, this is where the teacher models the behavior that they want the students to imitate, practice, and rehearse.
What is the retention phase?
400
An adult model performs a task while talking to self out loud.
What is cognitive modeling?
400
Behavioral and cognitive theories of learning are often posed as competing, ____ ____.
What is opposite models?
500
Apparatus for observing animal behavior in experiments
What is a skinner box?
500
Desired behavior is rewarded following a fixed number of behaviors
What is a fixed ratio schedule?
500
Learning based on observation of the consequences of others' behavior.
What is vicarious learning?
500
Information about one's own behavior has often been found to change behavior, even when that information is _______.
What is self-provided?
500
____ _____ learning processes, such as concept formation, learning from text, problem solving, and thinking, are difficult to observe directly and have, therefore, been studied less often by behavioral learning theorists.
